Configuring the Sender SOAP Adapter 

Use

You need to configure the sender SOAP adapter to send content from remote clients or Web service servers to the Integration Server/PCK.

Integration

·        You configure the adapter on the Parameters tab page during the definition of a communication channel in the Integration Server or in the PCK. In addition to the adapter configuration, you can use the Module tab page in the module processor to specify generic modules, which give the adapter additional functions.

·        The inbound address for SOAP messages is: http://host:port/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=party:service:channel

Under party:service:channel enter the party name, the service name, and the name of the communication channel. If no party has been created, enter the following: channel=:service:channel

Prerequisites

...

       1.      You have created a new communication channel or have opened an existing one.

       2.      On the Parameters tab page you have selected the adapter type SOAP.

       3.      You have selected the Sender radio button to define the adapter as a sender adapter.

Activities

To configure the adapter, specify the following:

Transport Protocol

HTTP

Message Protocol

SOAP 1.1

Adapter Engine

Select the Adapter Engine on the Integration Server, or select a non-centrally installed Adapter Engine. This selection is not available in the PCK.

Security Parameters

·        Set this indicator if you want to make additional settings for web services security in the relevant sender agreement in the Integration Server or in the PCK.

If you set the indicator, there must be exactly one sender agreement for the defined communication channel.

·        Also specify the Persist Duration for the messages.

Conversion Parameters

Parameter	Details
Without SOAP Envelope	If the indicator is set, the adapter expects a message without a SOAP envelope. It puts the whole message in the XI payload.
Keep Headers	If you want to include the header of the Web service message in the XI message, set the indicator.
Keep Attachments	If you want to include attachments of the Web service message in the XI message, set the indicator.
Use Encoded Headers	If you want to include the XI header information in the encoded string, set the indicator.
Use Query String	If you want to include the XI header information in a query string, set the indicator.

Default XI Parameters

Set the default values for the following parameters:

·        Interface Namespace

·        Interface Name

Processing Parameters

Under Quality of Service, specify how the message is to be processed by the Integration Engine/PCK.

·        Best Effort (synchronous processing)

·        Exactly Once (asynchronous processing)

If the client sends a GUID, execution is guaranteed exactly once. See also: Ensuring Exactly Once Processing

·        Exactly Once In Order (asynchronous processing using queues)

If the client sends a GUID, execution is guaranteed exactly once maintaining the sequence of successive messages.

Specify the Queue Name.

Adapter Status

Set the adapter to Active to enable messages to be exchanged.
